INTRODUCTION
This course provides
detailed instruction on how to design with concrete to maximize
environmental performance of buildings and project sites. It will help
attendees utilize concrete building systems to design high performance
buildings that conserve energy and maximize occupant comfort.
The seminar provides detailed background on stormwater best management
practices, including pervious concrete pavement systems in combination with
bioretention swales, conventional concrete pavements, and green roofs to
reduce stormwater runoff and overall impact of the built environment. It
provides suggestions on how concrete can be used to minimize urban heat
islands and reduce carbon footprint. The course also includes suggestions on
how to incorporate optimal recycled content into concrete to balance
environmental impact and long term durability.
Attendees will learn the details of concrete building systems and pavements,
including design methodologies and construction techniques to minimize
environmental impact. This course will help attendees design and write
project specifications for sustainable concrete building and pavement
systems.
